The Script of My Life Hebrews 10:7

Scripture
“Look, I have come to do your will, O God–as is written about me in the scriptures.” Hebrews 10:7

Observation
The Bible is not just a book about God, it is also a book about me. When Jesus went to his home church and read the words from Isaiah he rolled up the scroll and said, “Hear those words? Well you’re lookin’ at ‘em! Those words are about me.” It was almost as if the Bible were a script of a play and Jesus was the actor and that day he read his own lines. What was true for Jesus is also true for me. The Bible is the script for my life. How will these lines come to life in me? By my choice to come to the Bible open heart first. Jesus said as he held the scroll, “I have come to do your will O God.”

Application
And so today I present myself to the Lord today to do his will. There are blank pages before me that I don’t know how to fill. There are empty speech bubbles in the comic strip of my life that I don’t know how to use. So I do today what I know I can do: I stand in front of the Bible with a heart open to say, “Lord, here I am…available.”

Prayer
Father, show me the script for my life today. Help me to speak my lines for you.

I'm Phil McCallum, a husband, father and most of all one of the people Jesus loves. I'm privileged to serve Evergreen Community Church in Bothell, Washington as Senior Pastor where people love enough to believe "it's all about relationships." In 1982 I made a vow to read God's word daily and apply it to life. Each day I write out my reflections. Some days I post those on my blog. It's a little personal but it's my hope it will stir you to go deeper still. Learn how I do my devotions. These are my thoughts and not necessarily those of the ministry I serve. By the way check out the computer study Bible Glo. I highly recommend it.
